Specialized Epic World Cup 2023 I Dream Build I Cross Country FS I SRAM AXS 2023 I 75mm I 110mm
On April 20th, Specialized unveiled its latest Epic World Cup Full Suspension Cross Country Bike. Prior to the release, we had the opportunity to assemble a bike in our workshop and capture it on video for you. All weights and details are included in the video and description below.
The new 2023 Specialized Epic World Cup is intended to provide riders with an incomparably direct pedal feedback and maximum efficiency in power transfer thanks to its fully integrated design.
The aim of the bike’s engineering team was to set new standards in terms of torsional and bottom bracket stiffness. The diamond frame geometry makes it possible to integrate the shock absorber into the structure of the top tube, resulting in an extra-wide shock absorber bearing that is designed to remain rock-solid even under constant firing. Additionally, the shock absorber and link are protected from dirt and rocks due to their placement.
The highlight of the Epic World Cup is the SID Deluxe WCID (World Cup Integrated Design) shock absorber, developed in collaboration with RockShox. It is intended not only to replicate the direct pedal feedback of a hardtail, but also to effectively absorb strong impacts from the bike and rider, giving the Epic World Cup a fatigue-free, continuous agility like on rails. The 75mm travel is designed to offer a positive travel equivalent to “conventional“ 100mm at 25% negative travel in a company setting.
The Epic World Cup is intended to provide a seamless transition from crisp hardtail to performant cross country full suspension. To achieve this, the shock absorber is equipped with independently adjustable positive and negative air chambers, which can be set to three different settings using a dial (0% negative travel, 5% negative travel, and 10% negative travel). This enables each rider to quickly and easily choose their preferred setting and adjust the bike to their preferred riding style or specific course/trail.

Am präsentierte Specialized sein neustes Epic World Cup Full Suspension Cross Country Bike. Vorab hatten wir die Möglichkeit ein Rad in unserer Werkstatt aufzubauen und für Euch in einem Video festzuhalten. Alle Gewichte und Details im Video und in der Beschreibung unten.
Das neue 2023er Specialized Epic World Cup soll den Fahrern dank seiner vollständig integrierten Bauweise ein unvergleichlich direktes Pedalfeedback und eine maximal effiziente Kraftübertragung bieten.
Ziel des Ingenieurteams des Bikes war, neue Standards in Bezug auf Verwindungs- und Tretlagersteifigkeit zu schaffen. Die Diamantrahmen-Geometrie ermöglicht es, den Dämpfer in die Struktur des Oberrohrs zu integrieren, was zu einem superbreiten Dämpferlager führt, das auch bei konstantem Dauerfeuer bombenfest bleiben soll. Außerdem ist der Dämpfer sowie der Link durch diese Platzierung geschützt vor Schmutz und Steinen.
Das Highlight des Epic World Cup ist der gemeinsam mit RockShox entwickelte SID Deluxe WCID (World Cup Integrated Design) Dämpfer. Er soll nicht nur das direkte Pedal-Feedback eines Hardtails reproduzieren, sondern auch starke Stöße souverän von Bike und Rider ableiten und dem Epic World Cup eine ermüdungsfreie, kontinuierliche Agilität wie auf Schienen verleihen. Die 75 mm Federweg sind in ihrer Charakteristik so entworfen worden um im Firmen-Setting den positiven Federweg von “herkömmlichen“ 100 mm bei 25% Negativfederweg zu bieten.
Das Epic World Cup soll einen nahtlosen Übergang von knackigem Hardtail zu performantem Cross Country Fully ermöglichen. Der Dämpfers ist hierfür mit unabhängig voneinander einstellbaren Positiv - und Negativluftkammern ausgestattet worden, die mit einem Drehrad in drei verschiedenen Settings eingestellt werden können (0% Negativferweg, 5% Negativfederweg und 10% Negativfederweg). Jeder Fahrer kann damit schnelle und einfach sein Lieblingssetting auswählen und das Rad auf den bevorzugten Fahrstil oder den jeweiligen Kurs / Trail einstellen.
